Paintings featured
- A pinnacle rendition of stark aesthetics:
- The mountains are dyed in nine layers of vermilion, rouge and ochre, with the peaks in rich red like a blazing fire, the mountainside in orange-red transition like molten gold flowing, and the foot of the mountain adorned with rattan and yellow moss as if the earth’s residual warmth, forming a color epic of “red flame burning the sky to warm earth to produce gold”;
- Original “splash of color chapped” technique: mineral pigment splashed with a wolf-hair chapped, both to retain the ink wantonly, but also with the realism of the texture of the rocks.
- The natural narrative of motion and static intertwined:
- The red leaves are stacked with cinnabar by the “Dot-Cluster Color Accumulation Method”, the leaf edges reveal the bottom layer of vine yellow, and the sense of sunlight penetrates the leaf veins; the clouds are swept horizontally by the “Flying White and Leaving Air”, and the distant peaks of the rocky green are revealed in the virtual place, and the real scene and the reflection constitute the philosophical mirror image of “Heaven and Earth are born of the red mountain”. The real scene and the reflection constitute the philosophical mirror image of “heaven and earth are born in the red mountain”.
A Detailed Portrayal
- The blazing texture of the mountain rocks:
- The side of the main peak is carved with “axe-chopping” to depict the steep rock wall, with gold foil fragments embedded in the gap between the chapped lines, which looks like a dark surge of lava when viewed from the side light;
- The mist in the mountains is horizontally chapped with wet brush and light ink, and the outline of the green and gray distant mountains is hidden in the vanity, like the folds of time hidden in the autumn mist.
- Autumn carnival of life:
- The branches of the maple tree are gnarled and strong with burnt ink and withered brush, and the red leaves are painted using the “powder collision technique” – vermillion and titanium white collide with each other on the raw rice paper, and the edges of the leaves are glowing with frosty halo, which seems to be a symbiosis of fire and ice;
- Streams and streams are outlined with the “swimming silk stroke”, the reflection of the red peaks into the reddish-red haze, and the surface of the water is lightly dotted with floating ping pong and stone green, such as “starbursts of fire falling into the flow of the Dan”.
Artistic Value
- A revolutionary experiment in traditional landscape painting:
- Breaking through the paradigm of lime green landscape, reconstructing the bone force of Northern Song Fan Kuan’s “Traveling in the Streams and Mountains” with vermilion sand, the ruddy mountains are like bronze tripods, giving the autumn scenery a bronze inscription-like heaviness;
- A two-way expression of color philosophy:
- The blazing red color symbolizes the vitality of life, while the quiet stone reflection is a metaphor for self-reflection, and the two are intertwined through the water and mirror, alluding to the oriental dialectical thinking of “yang pole produces yin”;
- Aesthetic dialog across time and space:
- The color block cutting of the mountains echoes Mondrian’s compositionalism, and the white treatment of the clouds is in line with the minimalist aesthetics, but the “axe-chopping” and “curling cloud chapping” retains the oriental ink and brush genes.
